Posted - 06/27/2007 : 1:54:01 PM I have heard there is a nude beach in Saugatuck, Michigan that is part of or next to Oval Beach. Has anyone been there that can give a current report? Thanks |

Posted - 08/26/2011 : 01:18:18 AM Has anyone actually been to the clothing-optional area just NORTH of Oval Beach this summer? The last time I was there was 2009, and very few people at the nude beach section (i.e. the dunes) but I'd love to go again. If anyone's been there this year (2011) is that private property area now fenced off? or do people still go back there a lot?

Posted - 07/31/2011 : 5:14:27 PM On the south side - Oval Beach, just to the north, it's pretty safe. You have to cover up when families walk by, but that is rare. In the dunes, it's all naked anytime. I would say 5 guy couples, 3-5 reg couples, 4 single guys... no nude woman... yet! North side - just south of State Park, about half of the above if that. |

Posted - 07/26/2011 : 09:36:51 AM Can you descibe both areas on a weekend as to how safe it is, in the dunes or near the lake, and how many singles/couples there are there. Thanks |

Posted - 07/25/2011 : 12:21:54 PM Just south of the State Park on the North side of the pier is good, and on the south side, it's Oval Beach, same place as it's always been, just walk north along the beach, and north of the "500'" signs.. |

What is the status of this area? Is it a family friendly nude beach or not? Cost? What is the best way to access this beach?

Posted - 03/06/2011 : 3:28:27 PM Can you tell me more about the nude beach south of Oval Beach. I was not aware that there was a new nude beach there.
Thanks!

Posted - 07/17/2010 : 08:20:48 AM The property had been private property for years. It was sold 2 or three years ago to a rich investment guy from out of state. He allowed it to stay as was. He agreed to sell the property to local people (like a conservation group) so he can focus on developing the north side of the river. The new owners must not be into the nude seen. |

Posted - 07/17/2010 : 07:37:05 AM I've been out there a few times now and it seems that the pay-to-play establishment in the dunes has disbanded. The dunes a now part of a nature trail system. Is anyone aware of what lead to the closing of this private nude area?

Posted - 07/06/2010 : 5:09:39 PM Anyone been out there since May? Is it open yet for the nudist lifestylers? I'm finding it difficult to be a social nudist and a lot of that is due to the price that resorts charge in MI. There are two resorts but I can't bring myself to pay so much to go c/o. The beach would be a much more cost effective method and less pressure I think.

Posted - 05/31/2010 : 8:25:40 PM Pat - you are so right. Anyone with a cell phone can call the police. Fine is $500. Plus probably one night in jail. |

Posted - 05/30/2010 : 3:11:02 PM I was there yesterday (Saturday 5/29/10) after 4pm. I didn't see anyone collecting money or where to really go but there were lots of folks on the public beach and several gay ones too. I'll go back to Oval beach. Really hope the nude area opens. Somebody tell me if I need to be more agressive going around or through the fence? It was posted to stay out but I did see trails and break points in the fence. I just didn't see anyone coming or going inside. |

Posted - 07/03/2009 : 5:53:40 PM Anyone heading out there for the Fourth of July (tomorrow)? New to this, so thought I'd check to see if anyone from the group is going to be there tomorrow. I'll probably head up for the afternoon. |
